Cement Manufacturer’s Handbook by Kurt E. Peray Chemical Publishing Co., Inc. New York, N.Y. 1979 ©1979 ISBN 0-8206-0245-0 Chemical Publishing Co., Inc. Printed in the United States of America PREFACE With this book, the author has intended to fill the need for a handy reference guide for cement plant engineers, supervisors, and managers. This work contains the necessary engineering formulas which represent the basic tools for gaining a better understanding of cement manufacturing technology. Mathematical formulas have been purposely kept simple with a minimum of written text to conserve an engineers time and to make this book available for use to the widest possible readership. Little or no mention is made about the result one can expect from any of the multitude of formulas presented. To do so would not serve a useful purpose and would defeat the objectives set forth for this book. None of the results obtained are universally applicable as is true for ail manufactur- ing facilities. The process of manufacturing cement is one of the most dif- ficult and dynamic processes known. Therefore, it would be a fallacy to assume that because a certain equipment, design, or method has proven it- self in some plants that it would be equally successful in another. Nowhere is this situation more pronounced than in the rotary kiln operation. ‘There is no substitute for experience. But, experience combined with a sound mathematical understanding and knowledge of the process is a goal every cement plant engineer should strive for. If this book generates interest and gives the reader more satisfaction on his or her job, its writing will have been justified. But it is hoped, that it will do more than that. * * * Special appreciation is extended to my family for their sacrifices with- out which this book would not have become a reality. For their under- standing and patience I’m dedicating this book to SONJA, DANIELA, AND MARCEL * * * i INTRODUCTION The process of manufacturing cement requires a knowledge of many sciences such as chemistry, physics, thermodynamics, and physical chemis- try. It takes years to acquire a fundamental knowledge of the cement manufacturing process and this leaming process tends to be never ending. There is always something new in this industry: new types of equipment, new operating techniques, and conditions that require great effort to bring about change. Failure to accept this as a requirement of the job could lead to stagnancy instead of progress. Unfortunately, for anyone that has chosen a career in the cement in- .dustry, this knowledge cannot be acquired in a classroom or behind a desk. Instead, to become familiar with the process, one must acquire experience out in the field. For a manager or engineer this means he periodically has to don his overalls and spend time on the firing floor, the grinding depart- ment, the packhouse, and the quality control laboratory. By doing this, he must not shy away from the possibility that he might return to the office in a state more fitting for a chimney cleaner than a member of the plants management staff. In the course of 23 years, the author has been working in almost all de- partments of a cement plant and has been fortunate to gather experience as an hourly employee as well as a member of the plants management staff. During these times, a sore back from loading cement sacks on trucks, clinker dust in nostrils and ears from operating a kiln, inflamed eyes from cement and kiln dust, a few minor bums from hot clinker, a lot of sleep- jess nights, call-outs, and 16-hour work days were common occurrences. iti It is all part of the learning process. It is hoped that these remarks do not give the newcomer to the industry the false impression that all cement plants are terribly dirty places to work in, They really aren’t, they are just slightly different from other industrial processes and some time is required to get used to them. There is however a much more positive aspect to embarking on a career in the cement indus- try. Making a living in the cement industry, as a manager, engineer, super- visor, or hourly worker, is a job that seldom becomes monotonous or bor- ing. This is an interesting technical field to work in and is always full of the unexpected. [t takes a special kind of individual who can tackle new problems head-on. It is a credit to the cement industry that it has so many individuals that can salvage an apparently hopeless situation and keep, figur- atively speaking, the train on the track. The author himself has observed specialists in their own right making a production facility continue to pro- duce cement when others had given up years ago saying that the particular equipment was long overdue for the scrap pile. And at other times, work- ers and supervisors, almost beyond their call of duty, have proven they can repair a piece of equipment and get it back on line within a time frame other industries would consider impossible. These are the unsung heroes in the cement industry, those who are just doing their job and whose names usually never appear in the trade literature. In part, the author dedicates this book to these individuals, There really is no way for a book to teach the uninitiated this kind of a work experience. There are just too many unknowns and variables that enter into the decision making process about how to handle a given situa- tion. It is therefore a fallacy to assume that this book provides an individ- ual with everything he has to know about the cement manufacturing pro- cess. The aim of this book, however, is to provide the foundation upon which an individual can build his experience and technical know-how. The author has attempted to compile the technical information that is con- sidered necessary to give the reader a good background of the process. It is not uncommon to observe an engineer spending four hours in preparation of a test, one hour for the actual test in the field, two hours for calculations, and two days in compiling the results and writing the report. In many chapters of this book, work sheets are provided which an engineer can copy thus saving him valuable time in this overall endeavor. Since the majority of the formulas in this book are presented both in the English and metric systems, the engineer has a tool available that makes the transition to the new system easier for him. The only caution the iv author must give is that the reader should make a habit of ascertaining the appropriate formula in the correct system of units for his work or project. Included at the end of this book are extensive conversion tables that allow the reader to become familiar with all three systems: the English, the metric, and the International System of Units. The author would like to see a college or university that would establish aschool of “Cement Manufacturing Technology” here in the United States. Such an institution would enable our industry to develop the required pool of new engineers needed to maintain a progressive technological growth in the North American industry. It is the authors opinion that such a school could contribute a great deal toward making the U.S. cement industry less dependent upon foreign technology. There are many unique processes that were invented and developed by the U.S. cement industry. Perhaps in the future we can again take a leading role in improving and ad- vancing the technology of making cement. But to do so requires a financial commitment and a great deal of effort from all of us. Kurt E.

It can also be calculated from the chemical analysis of the kiln feed by the following formula: Ignition loss = 0.44 CaCO, + 0.524 MeCO, F pa gx + combined H,O + organic matter. 1.02. Silica Ratio ____ SiO, Al,O; + Fe.03 Large variations of the silica ratio in the clinker can be an indication of poor uniformity in the kiln feed or the fired coal. Changes in coating for- mation in the burning zone, burnability of the clinker, and ring formations within the kiln can often be traced to changes of the silica ratio in the clinker. Asa rule, clinker with a high silica ratio is more difficult to burn and exhibits poor coating properties. Low silica ratios often lead to ring formations and low early strength (3-7 days) in the cement. 3 4 CEMENT MANUFACTURER'S HANDBOOK 1.03 Alumina-Iron Ratio _ Al,Os AIF Fe,03 Clinker with a high alumina-iron ratio, as a rule, produce cement with high early strength (1 to 3 days) but makes the reaction between the silica and calcium oxide in the burning zone more difficult. 1.04 - Lime Saturation Factor This factor has been used for kiln feed control for many years in Europe and ‘only recently has also found acceptance by American cement manu- facturers. When the lime saturation factor approaches unity, the clinker is difficult to bum and often shows excessive high free lime contents. A clin- ker, showing a lime saturation factor of 0.97 or higher approaches the threshold of being “overlimed’”’ wherein the free lime content could re- -main at high levels regardless of how much more fuel the kiln operator is feeding to the kiln.

The higher the index number, the harder the clinker is to burn. ___ cs CAF +C3A 1.08 Burnability Factor The burnability factor is used as a guideline for the kiln operator to show if a given clinker is easier or harder to burn. Higher burnability factors yield a clinker that is harder to bum. Conversely, lower factors make the clinker easier to burn. : BF = LSF +10 SR -3 (MgO + Alkalies)_ . (find LSF in 1.04 and SR in 1.02.) 1.09 Bogue Formulas for Clinker and Cement Constituents For a cement chemist, these formulas are the most important and fre- quently used indicators of the chemical properties of a cement or clinker. The constituents calculated by these formulas, however, are only the po- tential compositions when the clinker has been burned and cooled at given conditions, Changes in cooling rate or burning temperature can modify the true constituent composition to a considerable extent. 6 CEMENT MANUFACTURER’S HANDBOOK a) Bogue Formulas for Cement Constituents If 4/F = >0.64 C38 = 4.071CaO — (7.602Si0, + 6.718A1,0, + 1.43Fe,05 + 2.852803) C8 2.867810. — 0.7544C,8 C3A = 2.65Al,03 - 1.692Fe,03 C,AF = 3.043Fe,03 If A/F = <0.64 C38 4.071CaO — (7.602Si02 + 4.479Al,03 + 2.859 Fe203 + 2.852803) C28 = 2.867S8iO, — 0.7544C38 0 C3A ss(CgAF + C2F) = 2.1 Alp03 + 1.702Fe203 b) Bogue Formulas for Clinker Constituents When appreciable amounts of SO, and MnO; are present in the clin- ker, the values of the chemical analysis have to be recalculated to take into account the amount of CaO that has been combined with SO, the amount of free lime present and the Mn203. The values to be used in the Bogue formulas are: Fe,0, = Fe.03 + Mn,0; CaQ = CaO ~ free CaO - (CaO combined with SO3) To find the amount of CaO that is combined with SO3 as CaSO, pro- ceed as follows: QUALITY CONTROL FORMULAS 7 Step 1 If (K,0/SO3) = < 1.176 then not all of the SO3 is combined with K,0 as K2SO« SO, in K,0 = 0.85 K,0 Step 2 Calculate SO, residue SO; — SO, (in K.0)= SO; (remaining) If [Na,0/SO4 (remain.)] = < 0.774 then not all of the remaining SOs is combined with Na2O as Na2SOq,. SO, in Na,O = 1.292 Na,O Step 3 Calculate the amount of CaO that has combined with the SO as CaSOq Ca0 (in $03) = 0.7 [S03 — SO; (in K,0) — SOs (in Na,0)] Having determined the appropriate values for the CaO and Fe,03, one can then proceed to calculating the potential clinker constituents by using the previously given Bogue formulas. When the Bogue formulas are used for kiln feed compositions, keep in mind that the coal ash addition, dust losses, and alkali cycles can alter the final composition of the clinker. Also use the analysis on a “loss free” basis in the calculations of the constitu- ents. 1.10 Total Carbonates Total carbonates are usually determined analytically by the acid-alkali titration method. They can also be calculated from the raw (unignited) analysis as follows: TC = 1.784 CaO + 2.09 MgO 8 CEMENT MANUFACTURER’S HANDBOOK 1.11 Total Alkalies as Na, 0 The total alkali content in terms of sodium oxide is calculated from the loss free analysis: Total as Na,O = Na,O + 0.658 K,O 1.12 Conversion of Raw Analysis to Loss Free Basis 0, 0,= 100 ' 100-L where , O, = percent of oxide (by weight) on a raw basis O, = percent of oxide (by weight) on loss free basis L = percent loss on ignition (by weight) 1.13 Conversion of Kiln Dust Weight to Kiln Feed Weight Dust collected in a precipitator or baghouse of a kiln shows a different loss on ignition than the kiln feed because it has been partially calcined.

For an approximate indication, the heat value can also be calculated from the ul- timate analysis. Values for C (carbon), S (sulfur), H (hydrogen), etc., are expressed in terms of percent by weight for coal and oil and in terms of percent by volume for natural gas. For coal : gross heating value (Btu/lb) = 145.4C+40.4S+611.0H - 64.60, net heating value (Btu/ib) = 1454C+40.48 0, + 516.6 H “3 - 10.8m 0. net heating value (kcal/kg) = 80.8 C + 287 ( - =| + 22.45 § -6.0m where m = percent moisture in coal. ~ For oil: gross heating value (Btu/Ib) = 17,780 + 54 (API gravity) heating value (kcal/kg) = 12,958 — 3228d -70.0S where d = density at 15°C (kg/dm*) 58 CEMENT MANUFACTURER’S HANDBOOK For natural gas: Btu/ft? = 10.146 CH, + 17.89 CzH, + 25.73 C3He + 33.92 CaHyo + 42.0 C5H,2 + 6.47 HS keal/m* = 90.3 CH, + 159.2 CH, + 229C3Hg + 301.9 CaHio + 373.8 CsHi2 + 57.6 HS 5.04 Conversion from “Gross” to “Net” Heating Value The net heating value accounts for the heat losses that are experienced for the evaporation of the moisture in the fuel as well as the water that is generated by the combustion of hydrogen. Heating values obtained in the calorimeter are “‘gross” values and can be converted to the “net” basis by the following formulas: a) English units AV (net) — H V eross) — 9270 Hz (Btu/!b) b) Metric units it (net) ~ Hu (gross) ~ 5150 Ha (kcal/kg) where H, = percent hydrogen (sum total of H2 in the fuel and the moisture) In Europe it is the custom to express the heating value or fuel consump- tions in terms of the “net” basis whereas in North America the “gross” heating value is generally used.

The majority of the ash, during the burning of coal, enters the clinker and modifies its chemical composition. On coal fired kilns, it is not only important to maintain a uniform kiln feed but also to fire the kiln with a coal of uniform composition. In plants, where coal originates from several different suppliers, provisions should be made to blend these coals before they are fired in the kiln. A typical analysis of coal ash is shown in the following: SiO.

An engineer should follow the sequence in which the for- mulas are presented herein as many calculations require the results obtained from earlier computations. To simplify the engineer’s task, all the formulas are presented in the form of work sheets that can be used to arrange the study in an orderly fashion, At the conclusion, a summary sheet is also given to compile all the significant results of this study. Data, formulas, and results can be presented either in English or metric system units by using the appropriate worksheets in this chapter. These work sheets can also be used to perform studies of parts of the kiln system (e.g., the cooler operation). The reader should have no diffi- culties in selecting the appropriate formulas from the worksheets in these - instances. For a complete study, it is essential that the kiln data be selected during a time when the kiln operates in a stable and uniform manner. 75 76 CEMENT MANUFACTURER'S HANDBOOK 7.01 Technical Information on Kiln Equipment Plant.

Find “k,” in 8.02 and “a,” “‘b,” “f” in 8.01. 8.13 Total Weight of Kiln Exit Gases The best method for determining the weight of kiln exit gases is by measuring the actual flow at the back end of the kiln and subtracting the percent of infiltrated air that enters through leaks at the feed end (see 8.05). In many instances, such flow measurements are suspect in accuracy because it is often difficult to measure the build-up in the duct where the measure- ments are taken. The large size of the ducts in this area also require special probes and a multitude of test points to obtain a meaningful traverse in the duct. In cases where this testing method is suspect, it is advisable to calculate the weight of kiln exit gases by adding the products found in 8.11 and 8.12.

For direct coal fired kilns one must include the volume of water vapor present in the primary air to obtain the proper velocity at the burner tip. This water vapor volume can be calcu- lated from the percent moisture in the coal and converting this into the actual cubic feet per minute by using the steam table given in Chapter 22, Section 22.05.

The formulas given below allow for combustion calculations in terms of the unit production of clinker. Hence, the results obtained are expressed in the same terms as the results computed in this study for liquid and solid fuels. Data required: Analysis of natural gas Percent by volume expressed as a decimal a, = CO2, carbon dioxide = vias b, = Na, nitrogen = c,; = CHa, methane = care d, = CH¢, ethane Sg anerorn é, = Cs3Hg, propane gs anes fi = CaHyo, butane (iso + N-butane) ZS eeee £1 = CsHy2,, pentane (iso + V-pentane) Sas tee.
